So I was almost stumped. . . Dr. Davis? Naw, not her style. . . but then I thought I had it. . . Maya Angelou! Gotta be, I seem to recall such a title. . . nope. . . more searching. . . no hits. . . but then, BINGO!!A union organizing song. . . from women textile workers in '09?It's hard to keep up sometimes.

I wonder, if at the next protest here in DC, if instead of all gathered at one spot (where we are contained and ignored), everyone spread out, and stopped everything from running, if that would make a difference.

I loved this. As a college student, I am sometimes ashamed of myself and my generation. It seems as if we have not only been moved, but we've been completely out of the way! We are so accustomed to this world that we don't see the ways that we need to continue to change it! It is as if we're now blind to the 6 nooses at Central Michigan University, and at my school the Jena 6 is an unknown term. We are allowing the sexists and the racists stand and not be moved, when it should be us!GOOD POST! I'm inspired to inspire...
